Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino is hopeful that his side can play without fear following the Saints' 1-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion.

Southampton managed to end their poor run of form at home by claiming a hard fought 1-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion on Saturday and Pellegrino is now hopeful that his side can push on following the win over the Baggies.

He said: "Hopefully but for me to sustain and to win games you have to play well. You have to play better than the opponent.

"This is our job and I will repeat that the attitude of the players is right, is good. In football in the Premier League you have to fight for every single point.

"We play a very difficult team and to beat them you have to do a lot of things. I am happy with how we play and we have to continue."
